What I am doing here with rest mass is not altogether new to physicsbut a continuation and elaboration of what is found in this textbook:

In the textbook CHEM ONE by Waser, Trueblood, Knobler, 2nd ed., 1980,page 307 is a picture of theDebroglie waves for permitted and prohibited orbitals.

And so the idea I am pursuing is that the electron has that ringshaped or closed loop shaped geometry and the ridges and troughs of E-charge and M+ or M- magnetic monopoles when added up gives rest-mass.So that a M+ ridge is a 1 eV rest mass and a E- ridge is another 1 eVrest mass and the troughs are each 1 more eV rest mass and so theelectron in ground state sums up both ridges and troughs of E- and M+(perhaps M-) sums to a total of500,000 eV rest-mass. The same goes for the proton of its troughs andridges when summed equals 938,000,000 eV rest mass.

Now there are a lot of kinks and issues I have to overcome, but thatis to be expected. What I am concerned with is getting a generalframework for the 6th edition and if I have kinks and issues, I canwork them out in the 6th edition.

Now I wonder if the electron wavelength has ever been measured and howmany such ridges and troughs would exist in the hydrogen atom electronin ground state. So if these parameters are available and if they comeup with say 400,000 or 500,000 or 600,000 such ridges and troughs, itis safe to say I conclusively discovered the meaning of rest-mass.

And if the proton in hydrogen in ground state comes up with a numberfor the ridges and troughs to be about 1,000,000,000 then there also Iconclusively discovered the inner meaning of rest mass.

I think the physics literature has some sort of numbers data of thewavelength of the proton and electron and how many troughs and ridgesaccrues from orbitals as shown in CHEM ONE.

Now earlier today I wrote that the proton is likely to involve avolume of the wave but I rather doubt that, and suspect that theproton wave is a surface area of a ellipsoid, not a volume of theellipsoid. So that the electron is circumference of C = pi(2r) and theproton is surface area of S.A.= 4pi(r^2). I changed my mind becausethe Maxwell Equations are about electricity which is a surfacephenomenon more than a solid interior phenomenon. And the fact that10^9 is easier to come by from squaring 10^4 or 10^5.

Now probably the biggest kink in the armor of this, is likely to bethat I need to inject the plutonium atom rather than the hydrogen atomground state. So that the proton ellipsoid is going to be highlyelongated whereas the hydrogen is closer to spherical.

And keep in mind, the proton is the bar magnet in Faraday's law andthe electron is the closed loop wire, so that the electron Space ofits circle has to be far larger than the proton surface area that isgoing to be a plunging bar magnet into the electron closed loop. Nowthis maybe difficult to pull off since the electron has only 500,000ridges and troughs to work with while the proton has 938,000,000ridges and troughs to work with. I would be more comfortable if theelectron had 938,000,000 ridges and troughs to build a closed loopwire.

Another kink is whether only M+ resides with electrons or whether bothM+ and M- reside.

So I have a lot of issues, but do not care so long as I have thecorrect overall general framework. The fact that the chemistry texthas almost the identical idea, except they do not push it furtheralong into making rest mass, is supporting evidence that I am on thecorrect framework.
